TARBORO SOUTHEREER

would have Secretary EalrChliO 90:
We would have him to keep his oath,
obey the constitution and the laws
of the land and discharge the duties
Of his official position faithfully
honestly and with ability, 50 that his
administration of the Treasury De-
partment will ada strength TO and
confidence in the Democratic party.
We would have him to attend to the
business OF the people, and not to
tie business Of the SPECTATORS bond
holders and blo0f-suckerS of Wall
Street. We would have him to pay
off TIE public debt as fast as 1t ma
lures and the interest thereon IS fast
as 1t may fall down. We would have
him to consult the good Of the coun-
try ard not the financial standing and
prosperity Of Ne~ York Boston ana
Philadelphia thieves, We would
have him formulate g financial sys-
tenn to take the place OK the NatlOn~
F al banks which must die as soon as
the national bonds are paid off. We
, would have him to formulate, deve-
I0ue and mature q system by which
the Treasury csn be relieved of Its
four or five hundred millions Of SUI
plus without putting it into the
, pockets Of the bord-hOlders, public
4 thieves and plumbers at cost to the
, people of at least one hundred nil
y lion of dollars before they are en-
uCled to 1t and before they have
o earned it. Yes, We would have hun
t to stand hy the people and the Dem
, ocratic party instead of standing as
t he is now doing by the bloatcd
y bond holders-W all street specul>
) ators and the puhli; and private
{ thieves and swinilers. Why should
